In Cayuga County Court Tuesday morning, Salvador A. Caban Jr., 21, of 17 Frederick St., Auburn, admitted that he forced his pregnant girlfriend to 'play' spin the knife and threatened to stab her in exchange for a promised sentence of no more than three years in prison.

Caban held his girlfriend against her will in the bedroom of their home on February 9.

"I played a game of spin the knife, and I told her I'd stab her if it landed on her," Caban said.

The spinning knife came to a stop pointing to Caban. He stabbed himself twice in the leg, and was transferred and treated at Auburn Community Hospital.

While in custody, Caban admitted to violating an order of protection by contacting his pregnant girlfriend twice.

Caban pleaded guilty to first-degree criminal contempt, a felony, along with second-degree criminal contempt and second-degree attempted criminal contempt, both misdemeanors, satisfying the other three charges — second-degree unlawful imprisonment, second-degree menacing and fourth-degree criminal possession of a weapon — on his indictment.

Judge Mark Fandrich remanded Caban into custody without bail, according to The Citizen.
